Toil and Trouble

from What of Doom? by Pyrophoria

/

lyrics

Black magic
Fast addict
Back at it
Laugh tragic
She knows how the game goes stay on your toes joe blows,
Fire crackles shackles shake what’s at stake
Hail satan who?
I’m leaden with you
Live evil love evil too
Much ado
About the doubt of the route I made for the ace of spade I’m not afraid i weighed I strayed I betrayed now I’ve played
And here we are beneath a star in the wood and if you could you’d wear a red hood but child the wolf made her wild and she’s exiled and unreconciled
She belongs on my side potion ocean wide
Hair of the boy who cried
Toenail of the blue eyed
And what will become, of the sum, I hum, so young, youngest’s tongue, or be hung, I am a villain unsung, I have an iron lung
So I bring you here tonight, not to fright or delight or fight
I bring you here because the sorceress draws near an I fear she’s got a burning in her ear and we’re not going to steer to be her peer this year, so I need you all to sacrifice dear

Voodou sorceress (Haiti, Haiti) waved goodbye
A smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye
Why
Oh why
The more I try I fly too high the sky, bone dry, am I what my dreams cry bullseye knot tie goodbye
I didn’t get a trial for a while I’ll smile
walk a mile in my shoes and choose whose views are a ruse and accuse they refuse light a fuse black tattoos they can’t defuse make the news still I lose
Back to black, crack on the track and I pack up to be an amnesiac but the slack can’t be picked up I’ve had enough of this luck what the fuck I’m stuck and cursed in the worst I’m first to the hearse lost in this verse
God don’t give me a sign give me what’s mine and a nine and I’ll be fine i incline those who stole my shine to get a broken nose and get in line to get in line
You can fuck off a smidge and go live under a bride and I hope one day you’ll say it wasn’t ok but that day will never come the numb in me is done and you’re a dumb fuck who’ll be fucked dumb once I get out of this hex the sorceress says you’re next

What of doom
Don’t exhume
Skeletons from a closet with a broom
This is no costume
I’m in the dressing room
Smoking and I fume
I don’t fly no newt’s eye
But you’re gonna die
